Mila Kunis has been praised for her reaction to being booed multiple times during a recent performance Jimmy Kimmel live.
Last week, New York-born Jimmy Kimmel returned to his hometown to host a series of shows at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House, where Kunis was promoting her new Netflix film. The happiest girl in the world. After Kunis opened up about a wardrobe malfunction that happened just before the show, Kimmel told the Black Swan Actor: “You look like you could be a New Yorker, but you’re not a New Yorker.”
“No, I’m not,” she confirmed, followed by a subtle boo from a bystander.
“What? Who booed?” Kunis asked the audience before jokingly apologizing to the New York crowd.
“Well, you’re not going to like the rest of this interview,” she added.
That friends with benefits star went on to share a story about her family’s brief stay in New York when they first moved to the United States from Ukraine.
“I was born in Ukraine, but when I came to the States, I passed through New York,” she said to cheers from the audience.
“Except, I think it was like Queens,” Kunis continued. “And then you will be put in a hotel to go through your medical screenings to make sure you can enter the country. But it’s next to a cemetery, I remember that.”
While Kunis could only remember a graveyard across the street from the “weird” hotel she was staying at with her family, she recalled it being the first time she’d had a burger and Coca-Cola soda would have.

“I remember a cemetery across the street and this weird place I was at, but I had a burger and a Coca-Cola for the first time in New York,” she said.
Kimmel noted that Kunis has a “pretty good memory” before asking if it was her first time eating pizza in New York, too.
“Are you ready?” said Kunis, expecting more boos from the crowd of New Yorkers in the audience. “No.”
Kunis was then teased by the audience for her opinions on pizza, but tried to make up for it by sharing that her father worked as a Dominos pizza delivery man when they moved to Los Angeles, California. However, this only drew more boos from the audience, who suggested that New York pizza was superior to Los Angeles pies.
That That 70’s show Alumna went on to say that because of her father’s job, she hated pizza because it was all her family ate at the time. Of course, the admission prompted a “symphony of boos” from the crowd, after which Kunis got up from her seat and jokingly said, “I’m out of here!” before sitting back down.
“I’ve had it every day for a year, possibly longer,” she explained. “It was too much. Because we were so poor, my dad made us pizza for dinner and he tried really hard to be creative, but you can only be so creative.”
“My brother loved pizza, and my mom and I to this day are like, ‘Ugh, pizza,'” she added. “I’ll choke it down because my kids like pizza, my husband likes pizza, but I’m never the person to say, ‘You know how I feel? Pizza.'”
However, Kunis husband and notorious prankster Ashton Kutcher decided to get his wife a pizza oven for their anniversary. “But here’s the irony, boys. My husband gave me a pizza oven for our anniversary,” she laughs. “Now I not only don’t like pizza, I make it!”
Kunis’ performance Jimmy Kimmel Live was praised by fans online for her “comedic timing” and easygoing demeanor when faced with boos from the crowd.
“Mila Kunis is one of the funniest, most down to earth celebrities,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “Her wit is also impressive. I love her comedic timing when the crowd started booing, she handled it like a boss. Great interview.”
“If you boo Mila Kunis you’re not my people,” another fan tweeted.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were married in 2015 and have two children together – Wyatt, seven, and Dimitri, five. Earlier this year, the couple raised nearly $35 million for Ukrainian refugees amid the country’s ongoing Russian invasion.
Because of her humanitarian efforts, Mila Kunis was recently included in Time Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2022.
In the meantime, The happiest girl in the world Viewers have urged Netflix to add a trigger warning to the film’s launch. The 15-credit film, released on Friday, features intense scenes of sexual assault.
